Refreshing the Morgan.

The mechanical bits of my mate's 1931 Morgan three wheeler, with a Matchless MX4, 990c.c. vee twin engine on the front ,I built, 40 years ago. 
Noticing some oil in the water, I removed both the cylinder heads, to investigate. Slight head gasket leak and a broken exhaust valve spring, so I've replaced all four and ground in the valves, which are in good condition, luckily !  All assembled, today, so I can refit them ,soon.  A very enjoyable job
 and all done on my bench, without getting too dirty ! I'm sure that it will last another 40 years, but I'll be 112 then and probably won't get asked to do it, hopefully
